CUPE Equality Statement
Union solidarity is based on the principle that union
members are equal and deserve mutual respect at
all levels. Any behaviour that creates conflict
prevents us from working together to strengthen
our union.
As unionists, mutual respect, cooperation and
understanding are our goals. We should neither
condone nor tolerate behaviour that undermines
the dignity or self-esteem of any individual or
creates an intimidating, hostile or
offensive environment.
Discriminatory speech or conduct which is racist,
sexist, transphobic or homophobic hurts and
thereby divides us. So too, does discrimination on
the basis of ability, age, class, religion, language
and ethnic origin.
Sometimes discrimination takes the form of
harassment. Harassment means using real or
perceived power to abuse, devalue or humiliate.
Harassment should not be treated as a joke. The
uneasiness and resentment that it creates are not
feelings that help us grow as a union.
Discrimination and harassment focus on
characteristics that make us different; and they
reduce our capacity to work together on shared
concerns such as decent wages, safe working
conditions, and justice in the workplace, society
and in our union.
CUPE’s policies and practices must reflect our
commitment to equality. Members, staff and
elected officers must be mindful that all persons
deserve dignity, equality and respect.
